Reality Creation Upscales Your Favorites

Upscale your existing Blu-ray Disc and DVD movies to near 4K quality. The super-resolution Reality Creation 4K upscaler analyzes every pixel in any direction, then employs a digital signal processing algorithm to map pixels against an ever-evolving picture patterning database, compiled from over 10 years of expertise, to enhance colors, contrast, andtextures without enhancing image artifacts.

Action Stays Smooth and Sharp with MotionFlow

Whatever you’re watching, you’ll enjoy a silk-smooth and razor-sharp on-screen look in fast-moving action sequences with Motionflow. This innovative technology can create and insert extra frames between the original frames by first comparing key visual factors on successive frames, then calculating the split second of missing action in the sequences. True Cinema 24p mode mimics true movie projection for cinema purists.

Enjoy All Types of Content in 4K HDR

4K HDR 60p 10bit (for HDR10/HLG) so you can enjoy gaming and other high frame rate content in 4K HDR.

Support for Latest Standards

The VPL-VW285ES can project content at up to 60 frames per second (fps) in 4K for even smoother images with superior color and realism. Both HDMI inputs support HDCP 2.2 so you can enjoy more of the latest 4K content services.

Flexible Home Installation with Wide Zoom and Shift Lens

The powered zoom lens with a 2.1x zoom ratio and wide lens shift range gives greater installation flexibility in any room size, even with a high ceiling.

Built-In 3D Transmitter Synchronizes Entertainment

A built-in 3D transmitter synchronizes the optional glasses with the projector, so you can start watching 3D movies quicker. Upscale 2D films to 3D and enjoy classic movies in a whole new dimension, or watch anamorphic images and 3D films simultaneously without changing the lens. High-emission power gives you a strong signal anywhere in the room.

Front-Facing Fan

With the fan exhaust positioned at the front of the projector, you don’t need to worry about wall clearance and room for air intake/exhaust when installing. This helps maximize throw distance, for the biggest possible projected images.

Plays Your "Mastered in 4K" Discs

The Mastered in 4Kcollection includes classic films, remastered with enhanced color and detail for Blu-ray Disc. Play these discs with a pixel resolution and color range that’s almost identical to the 4K original. The movie is down-sampled from the original 4K source at a high bitrate to Full HD, then upscaled to 4K using the same algorithm.
